David McFee: An Australian living in Palm Coast, Florida, David has been a stay at home Dad since his daughter was born in 2014. He is now looking to get back into his old life as an Environmental Scientist, but in the interim is working hard to get a rag-tag bunch of SAHDs together to build a sustainable podcast. When he’s not in front of the computer, he enjoys hiking, biking and all things outdoors. Connect with David through his website: davidmcfee.com or on twitter @dmcfee.

Craig Levine: Craig is from Parkland down in South Florida. A doctor’s husband with 3 kids, he practices realty in-between his dad duties and listening to Grateful Dead. He has been on more SAHDPods than any other SAHD, despite not thinking of himself as a SAHD anymore. He is also often criticized for his love of Miller Lite, but he is immune to the slings and arrows of the haters.

Brett Roberts: Brett is from Ontario Canada and has been a stay at home dad for around 3 years now. He currently has 2 little girls that he looks after on a full time basis. Prior to becoming a full time dad Brett worked in the insurance industry as a senior adjuster.

Keith Johnson: Hailing from the cold of Western New York, Keith is a former SAHD. He was a stay at home caregiver when a whirlwind of circumstances all came together to make it possible (for good and bad). With a degree in Childhood Education, Keith, his wife and two very active sons try to make every day an adventure. Keith is a self-described dork, and loves most things geeky; from board and video games, to comics, sci-fi, Star Wars, and cartoons.

David Zaveloff: A native to the Philadelphia area, David is a father of two and a husband of one. He became a SAHD with the birth of his daughter three years ago, and added to the chaos when his son joined the mix a year ago. When not dadding and attempting naps, he runs a full time wedding photography business, renovates his 200 year old house, and consumes a somewhat-unwise amount of coffee in the attempt to balance everything.

Dan Scott: Dan is a three-legged paragon of masculinity living near Fort Worth, Texas. He has had many jobs over the years, from bagging groceries to repairing aircraft to teaching at-risk students in high-poverty schools. He left the mundane world behind in March of 2015 to begin the Sisyphean task of raising his now 14 month old son, Liam. In his spare time Dan enjoys video games, genealogy, and “accidentally” leaving the window blinds open while undressing. When asked if he would do it all again if given the chance to start over, Dan will stare blankly into your soul while pouring another drink.He can be reached, eventually, on Twitter @dkevinscott or Facebook @dkevinscott

Kevin Clem:Father of two, husband of one, and man of many interests. He rolls 20 sided dice, practices his photography skills on metal bands, dances in lines with large belt buckles, harnesses the power of satellites to locate tiny ammo cans hidden in public places, knows who shot first, gets lots of mileage out of his kitchen-aid, regularly turns his compost pile, searches for branches to add to his family tree, collects glass medicine bottles from the past two centuries, pretends to be an English peasant, has a i7 processor to ensure critical damage, knows the distinction between a scrub jay and blue jay, roots for Black and Orange, and passes on his love of all of these things to his children.

Nick Figel: Nick became a stay-at-home dad in June of 2014. He gave up an exciting career as an IT Director at a small Texas college, trading deadlines and server outages for nap times and diaper blow outs. Since then he has weathered a cross-country move to Florida, life with the in-laws, and the joys of D-I-mostly-Y home renovation. He is thrilled to be finally living in his own house with a fully functioning kitchen that even includes a sink. He is also navigating the almost single parent life of being married to a general surgeon. Feeling inadequately challenged, the family will be expanding plus one daughter, due July 2016. When not hiding in a closet, banging his head against the wall questioning why he ever left Pittsburgh and the beautiful surrounding terrain with 4 seasons; he can be found working on his Nissan 300ZX TT or strolling the aisles of the local hardware store with his toddler son, just to get out of the house.
